Legal Representation

Any BDA member requesting support on workplace employment issues should initially contact their local BDA Trade Union Representative or the BDA Trade Union office.

As a BDA member you can get support if you are being investigated by the Health Care Professionals Council (HCPC) by contacting the BDA Trade Union office.

Loan Agreement

Due to recent changes to Employment Tribunals when taking a case to Employment Tribunal the individual would have to pay an up-front fee. As a BDA member this Employment Tribunal fee is done through a loan agreement.

The Work Issues section is the section to find advice and guidance if you have a problem at work related to restructuring or redundancy, disciplinary, sickness, capability, grievance, workload or bullying, the Trade Union team will be able to provide free advice and support or representation for you through any of the above which may include representation and attendance at legal hearings.

In Northern Ireland note:

In Northern Ireland most employment matters are dealt with by Industrial Tribunals. The equivalent bodies in England and Wales are known as Employment Tribunals.
